Capo 2

 Am         Am
I was born, in a dump
 Am                Am
My mother died, yea my daddy got drunk
 Am               Am
They Left me here, to die or grow
Am (let ring)
In the middle of Tobacco Road

 Am            Am
I Grew up in a rusty shack
 Am                  Am
All I ever owned was hangin' on my back
 Am            Am
Lord knows how much I loathe
Am (let ring)
This place called Tobacco Road


    CHORUS
             D7
Cause its home,
          D7             E7
the only life I've ever known, yea
      D7                  D7
And the lord knows I loathe,
  E7
Tobacco Road, yea (yea, yeeaa)

 Am                    Am
I'm gonna leave here and get me a job
 Am                 Am
With the help and the grace of God
       Am                      Am
I'm gonna save my money, get very rich I know
Am (let ring)
Bring it back to Tobacco road

 Am                 Am
Bring Dynamite yea, big ol' crane
 Am                        Am
Blow it up, tear it down, start all over again
 Am                     Am
Build me a town be very proud to show
Am (let ring)
Keep the name of Tobacco Road

    CHORUS
             D7
Cause its home,
          D7             E7
the only life I've ever known, yea
      D7                  D7
And the lord knows I loathe,
  E7
Tobacco Road, yea (yea, yeeaa)
